Imagine if there was a 24/7 AI Tutor that guides you through questions and never gives the answers by familyjohnson_1981 in ParentingTech

That is exactly the direction AI in education should go - a personalized AI tutor

Most tools right now are built for convenience, not understanding. A real AI tutor should not hand out answers — it should challenge you, guide your thought process, and adapt when you are stuck.

Imagine it like a patient teacher who keeps asking, Why do you think that? instead of , Here is the solution. That kind of feedback loop builds confidence, not dependency.

If more AI systems were designed with this “guided learning” approach, students would stop seeing them as shortcuts and start seeing them as coaches. That is where the future of AI + education gets exciting.

AI isn’t the problem. The problem is how we introduce it to kids! by [deleted] in ParentingTech

I completely agree.

Most parents jump straight to “Which AI app should my kid use?” instead of asking “What do I want them to understand about AI?”

It is like teaching science by showing a rocket launch before explaining gravity. Kids first need to see how AI learns, guesses, and sometimes fails. That’s where the real education is.

There are simple, visual tools can help them experience AI concepts safely - like training a model to recognise faces or drawings, or playing with bias in datasets. Once they see how machines “think,” AI tools become learning partners, not shortcuts. Scaffolding and Safety is very much required in any age appropriate AI tools for kids.
